TIMMONS.The most persistent and deadly eneI mies with which the secret service ofany country is forced to contend arethe terrorists of tile Broad lands ofj the czar.The detective departments of theRussian government have to deal withthe most skillful secret organizationsI in th# world. The devices at the com-mand of the secret orders, especiallytheir methods of communication, areof the most extraordinary character.An authority who has made the closestj study of the Russian prison systemj has assembled these devices. Themembers of the secret societies of Rus-sia assert that they can communicatewith one another In any prison, nomatter how carefully guarded. Nomethod of prison supervision can pre-vent ftThis communication is by a system: of tapping, either on the floor or walls, of the cell in which the prisoner is ;! confined. There are two codes, as de-1 scribed by the prison authority Ken-i nan. One Is primitive and cumber-1 some—namely, to indicate the lettersj in the alphabet by the number of taps,| as, for example, one for A, five for E,' ten for J, and so forth. This is a codeof ancient usage. It was found tooslow and complicated. A new system' was presently devised.Taking the English alphabet as anj example, It can be easily Illustrated.Leaving out one letter, as, for exam-ple K, and using the letter C whereverone would use K, the working alphabetis reduced to twenty-five letters.

The police tried to prevent it byputting the prisoners in alternate cellsonly. But the cells were so small andthe stone waAs were such excellentconductors of sound that even this de-vice did not prevent the communica-tion. «The most inconsequential article wassufficient to carry on the code. A bit ofbroken cement, fragments of bone, abufton or coin was all the prisonerneeded. This code was also used whenthe materials were available to com-municate by systems of plnhdljs inpaper or other materials, or by markson the surface of a wall.^door or aarticle that the prisoner thought wouldcome to the attention of his friend outside.it was also a device to unravel anyarticle of clothing or prisoner's equip-ment and by series of knots tied ln thethreads to spell out messages accordingto tills code.Another system was to secrete a lit-tle fat from the prisoner's food andwhen one passed n window, if exercisewas allowed In the prison courtyard, tomake a sign on the glass. When thewarm grease from the prisoner's fin-gers froze on the glass the signal be-came visible. Hits of broken glass. Ifthey could be obtained, were also usedto carry these messages, which wereinvisible until the glass was frozen.Systems of signals used by the friendsof the prisoners to acquaint them withcurrent affairs were no less Ingenious.The whole of the prisoners in the cellspolitical fortress ln Petrogradwere kept constantly informed of whatw as going on ln the capital by the sim-ple device of a man reading a book bythe light of a candle, lirom a certainwindow oMhe prison at night it waspossible to see this man read his bookhi a room of a house opposite the pris-on.
